I have a tradition where I develop something new every Christmas holiday. Last year I built a notepad clone with web technologies, still available at http://notepad.azurewebsites.net. My goal with these Christmas hacks is to learn something new and to really finish something. Last year I learned about offline web applications and this year I learned about CORS, Widget developing, Typescript and VanillaJS. This year, I built Crowdspell.se, a free service that lets your visitors correct typos in your articles/pages by selecting the text. In fact, the service is active on this blog. Try selecting any text to try it out....…

This is just a very quick “bugfix” I found. When using Twitter Bootstrap Glyphicons the font comes in a lot of flavors, including .ttf and woff. Somehow it seems that IIS will return a 404 not found when requesting the .woff file – even though the file definitely exists and the URL is correct. The problem lies within the MIME-types that IIS use. …

I’m launching a little tool that makes my life happier every time I use it. The problem I solve Okay. So I paste code from my IDE to my blog when showing code examples and snippets. In order for markdown to get the code block formation, this required 4 spaces in the beginning. Sometimes the code is intendented by tabs, sometimes not. But every time there are some rows that are not intendented at all (e.g. code at the base/root level scope). The solution I searched for an fast and easy online converter but there wasn’t any. No one covered...…

This recently happened to me: Well. What the..? Why would this be forbidden? It’s just a bundle? My project was very default, so it would not be authorization rules. Turn out there is a simple keyword to remember: Never use a path that physically exist in your project as virtual name for your bundle. In my example I actually had a physical directory that matches “/Content/Css”, so Azure would pick that up instead, and naturally I didn’t allow directory browsing, which triggered the 403 call. Fix this issue by renaming the bundle. “/Content/css” -> “/Content/CssBundle” …

I’ve used Bootstrap a lot earlier but have recently used ZURB’s Foundation (which reached version 5 just some week ago). The problem is that Visual Studio does not support SASS compilation out of the box (unlike the experience with LESS, that at least in VS2013 “just works”). There are some commercial plugins, available when you search for SASS in the extension library, but the one that I’ve found to work the best is SassyStudio, which is also free and available on github. Just a quick share since I found it hard to find any tips about .sass file support in...…

Hello - small update! I just launched small website I have been building for the last two weeks. It’s a dogwalking serivce for swedes. It’s called called HittaHundvakt.se. Which means “Find a dogwalker” in swedish.
